Vintage Jewelry -Sarah Coventry

Sarah Coventry jewelry is the oldest direct selling jewelry company in the world that sold brooches, earrings, sets, and bracelets. This line of jewelry is highly collectible but still affordable and attainable. My grandmother always enjoyed collecting and wearing it. She inspired a love of vintage jewelry in me. I enjoy collecting this jewelry myself because it is of really great quality. I have several pieces I have collected for sale in my Etsy shop. You can find the links below.

Great entry! I found your blog through the We Love Vintage Team and I am so glad that I did. My grandma used to sell Sarah Coventry and still has a lot of pieces that she held on to from that time. This history on the company was very interesting to read!
